It's been nearly two years since we last had any news about Mike Le Han's in-the-works feature film debut Merciful but it looks like the project may finally head into production.

Recent news is that Kate Bosworth has signed on to not only star but also produce the movie which has had a title change since we last reported on it.

Written by Brian Scully, Genesis will star Bosworth as Amy, a mother searching for her daughter in a PA wasteland shortly after a cataclysmic event destroys the moon.

Bosworth has bit big into genre titles lately. She recently starred in the PA thriller The Domestics (trailer) and she will also be producing and starring in Neil LaBute's new series "I-Land" for Netflix. That show is a "Lost"-type thriller about 10 people who wake up on an island with no knowledge of how they got there.

The producers are shopping the movie around at AFM. Hopefully, it won't be too much longer before we hear more details or news about the start of production.
